Yep.

So it becomes simple...simply enforce the laws we have and create a couple new ones. End ALL social services to illegals, fine and possibly imprison employers who knowingly hire undocumented workers, make checks mandatory when a foreign national is arrested, etc. Basically enforce many of the laws already on the books. Eventually people who aren't supposed to be here will get the idea...the gravy train has ended and it's time to go home.

Yep.
